Reading
8. Read the text. Scary stories
My favourite scary book is The Mummy by Barbara Steiner. In the story, Lara is very
interested in Egypt. When she was working at a museum, she started hearing strange
noises. She thought she heard the Egyptian prince, Nefra. But Prince Nefra died
thousands of years ago... In my opinion, this is a great book! I read it because I was
doing a school project about Egypt. It was really exciting.
I really enjoyed The Haunted School by R. L. Stine. This book is about a boy called
Tommy Frazer. When Tommy’s family moved to a new house, he started going to a
different school. One day, Tommy was sitting in the classroom when he heard children
crying, but he couldn’t see anyone. Was his new school haunted? I think that this story is
really scary! I read it because my sister gave it to me for my birthday. Jake (aged 14) At
the moment, I’m reading The Unseen by Richie Tankersley Cusick. The main character
in this book is Lucy. Lucy’s mother died, so Lucy went to live with her aunt. One day,
Lucy was walking in the town when someone started following her. She wanted to
escape, so she ran into the cemetery...
9. Write true (T) or false (F)

2 Barbara Steiner wrote The Haunted School. _____
3 Jake’s sister gave him The Haunted School for Christmas. _____

11. Read the advert about the Galapagos Islands. Then complete the sentences with the
comparative or superlative forms of the adjectives below.

The Galapagos Islands

Come and visit the Galapagos Islands, 1,000 km off the coast of Ecuador, in the Pacific Ocean. The islands
are an ideal holiday destination for animal lovers. Come and see some of the most extraordinary animals
on Earth, including whales, sharks, birds and reptiles. They arrived on the isolated Galapagos Islands
thousands of years ago. Many of them are endemic – they live only on these islands and nowhere else in
the world!
There are 120 islands in the Galapagos. One of the most beautiful islands is Espanola, in the south. It isn’t
easy to get here because crossing the sea can be rough. But once you are here, you can have a lot of fun.
You can enjoy a peaceful day on the beach or go scuba diving in the deep blue sea. Espanola is also a
favourite destination for animal lovers. Here you can see the famous marine iguana. It looks frightening
with its big yellow eyes, but don’t worry – it’s very friendly and it only eats plants!
Another interesting island is Isabela. It isn’t as old as Espanola but it’s the largest island in the Galapagos. It
has got long coasts with steep cliffs and beautiful beaches. You can take a trip to the Wolf Volcano – the
highest point in the Galapagos – and enjoy the extraordinary scenery.
There are two seasons on the islands: the wet season and the dry season. The wet season is between
December and May. It is warm – not too hot and not too cold – it often rains during this time. For bird
lovers, this is an excellent time to visit the islands. They will see many unusual birds during this time of
the year. In the dry season, from June to December, the weather is lovely. It is the best time to watch sea
mammals because they are more active than in the wet season. So come to the Galapagos at any time!
